    Best album by far, the sound is amazing, the lyrics are beautiful, the start of the album is so hype, the end hits diferent, a true love letter to the fans.

    O que falar desse álbum?
    É o mais maduro da banda até a presente data, traz uma evolução sonora, traz letras bem atuais e a produção das faixas é incrível! Destaque para this is why, you first e figure 8.
    MELHOR ÁLBUM DE 2023.

    Easily their best work. Good and not too long album that will interest you into Paramore even more. The only complain I have is the last 2 tracks (which I think are not necessary on this project)

    Their best album. Reflective of an entire generations experience growing into our 30s. Excellent songwriting and musicianship.

    O mix perfeito entre o Paramore de agora e o de antes! Amei as letras, amei o ritmo e ouvir ao vivo foi uma experiência incrível!

    Great album from start to finish. You can feel the emotions all throughout the album, which shines in the second half hits songs like Figure 8, Crave and Thick Skull.

    To the bangers in the front half to the more chilling, slower tracks towards the end, Paramore proved that they still got it. The only track I’m not crazy about is c’est comme ça.

    I’m not the biggest punk fan, nonetheless I still really enjoy this album and the whole experience.
    Hayley Williams performance and vocals were always on point and very touching. The writing is always on point especially on the song “The News” which is about all of the events that have been happening in the past few years and saying to turn off the news.
    The production was always on

    The production was always on point too and always kept me hooked into the songs. Overall, this was a great return from a long hiatus.

    I am so happy with this comeback! They did an amazing job with every songs. Some reminds us to their early times and others feel very fresh. Profound and meaningful lyrics are found in between rock, danceable jumping-to anthems. Favorite tracks: Crave, Liar and You First.

    This Is Why, the highly anticipated 6th studio album by Paramore, brings back the band to the pop punk they used to make early on the band’s debut and subsequent albums. It has several good songs and it’s a good piece of work.

    I love Paramore and have been a huge fan since the 2000’s, however I was sadly disappointed by this album. Don’t get me wrong, it is a decent album, however it just didn’t hit the spot like earlier Paramore albums. Maybe I need to give it more time but I was expecting more. I’m

    Spectacular album! On first listen my favourites were Big Man, Little Dignity and Thick Skull and within a few days couldn't stop listening to Crave and Liar. Might be my favourite Paramore album yet.

    Definitely an acquired taste, this isn't the Paramore of before. While rumors said they would return to their roots that's not the case here, and this is way more an experimental indie rock album than a pop punk album. The themes are good, the music is more geared towards people that prefer to listen to more indie artists.

If you're a fan of pop punk and find indie boring, this isn't the album for you. I'm hoping they don't change their whole set to sound like this, it'll make for some super boring shows. Expand

    New Paramore album means a whole new universe to explore. It's their most sophisticated and polished album to date.

    Um álbum bastante polido e coeso, com críticas nada óbvias e certeiras a nossa atualidade. Uito bem produzido, tanto em instrumental quanto em composições. Paramore é uma banda de rock autêntica, sempre em sintonia com seu tempo.

    Paramore is back! Old fans will like this album much more than the last densely poppier After Laughter. They're now taking notes of old classics and listening to recent bops and cooking them into a more mature and beautiful body of work that easily could satisfy the broader spectrum of generations.

    You get the feeling that Hayley Williams and the rest of Paramore are still looking more outwardly than inwardly — that the wisdom of age has left them wanting for more, and questioning all. And that’s a great look for Paramore.

    Slight missteps do little to deter what is some of the band's most instantly likable tracks in their career, where they turn up one rave-up rocker after the next with wide-eyed fury. Having proven themselves time and time again, they've far outpaced those unwilling to grow up with them.

    That dichotomy between the visceral and the lackadaisical defines This Is Why instead of its value as a snapshot of this decade's global chaos, and in that sense, this LP is neither their best nor their "most mature." Regardless, there's nothing to stop you from reveling in this album's own chaotic dynamics, seriousness and passiveness juxtaposed. It's a worthy if mildly disappointing addition to Paramore's canon.
